Hello from Australia!
I have recently received a death certificate for a gr gr gr uncle, Richard Murphy, and in the section for birthplace is written near Newmarket. So I'm dipping my toes into the water using this information in the anticipation this lead might help find my Murphy family.
Patrick Murphy (b circa 1802) married Mary Mullins about 1826 as that is when their son, Richard is born (as per death certificate). Other children born in County Cork, Ireland were Mary, Ellen, Cornelius, Johanna, Patrick, Jeremiah and Timothy. The family emigrated in 1844.
Patrick's father was named Jeremiah, but I don't know the name of his mother.
How do I proceed to try to find information about this family?
I would appreciate help from Chatters to find my elusive Murphys.
Cheers
Elsie

You may wish to post on the Kiskeam. com site. There is a section for ancestry searches. Newmarket and surrounding villages would be included on this site. Good Luck.

Inteersting! My mother's family are from Newmarket, which is a lovely town, by the way, and my maternal Grandmother was a Nora Murphy, who would have been born in the 1880s.

I am also very interested in a Murphy family from Newmarket, Cork
My William Murphy b. abt 1813 married Ellen Reardon abt 1839.
William's parents are Richard Murphy and Mary McAuliffe. They came to Australia on the ship William Metcalfe 1838.
Any connections

Hello Ceallachain and Rose!
Murphy is such a common surname in Ireland! However as we are taking about the same area , Newcastle, maybe there is a connection between our families. It's a matter of finding that elusive link. Mmmmm.
Interesting to note that you have a Richard Murphy too, Rose. Speculation, of course, but could it be that there is a connection through that name of Richard- cousin, sibling, Grandparent?
When your Murphy family emigrated Rose, where did they settle in Australia? My Murphy family went to the Bendigo area in Victoria.

Hi to the Newmarket Murphys!!!!
My Murphys immigrated from the Newmarket area 1839....my Richard was born on the ship 4 days before it arrived in Australia.
My Murphys were in the Melbourne & Bendigo area also. William & Ellen Murphy (nee Reardon) had 5 children Richard b. 1839 ( cannot find a death...on a certificate says he died before 1874) Mary Ellen b, 1848, Patrick George b. 1851, Catherine b. 1852 & William Charles b. 1857

Hello Elsie
I found your message yesterday when I came across Webchat.com and was very pleased to see it as I am a descendant of Patrick Murphy and Mary Mullins through their youngest son John William born in Melbourne and died in Bendigo. He married Margaret Ellen Kennedy and after her death Selena Johns.
I would be very interested to be in touch to swap information on both our lines. John William was my great grandfather. I have not been able to find anything regarding their family in Ireland.
I am in touch with a couple of other Murphy descendants as well.
Cheers

Hello Elsie
I am a descendant of Patrick & Mary Mullins, through their youngest son John William who was born in Melbourne and died in Bendigo.
I have a photograph of a group of miners at Bendigo, one of whom we believe is Patrick Murphy. I would like to know the death date of Patrick. I have not really found a death that confirms his death - one of a Patrick on the gold fields and no details are known because the informant did not know any. I have Mary's death certificate which states her father's name was Jeremiah. You state that the father of Patrick is Jeremiah as well.
I hope that you are interest in details of our desendancy. I have cut the photo to just him as the whole photo was too large.
I thought forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely
Almareta

Almareta, I have sent you a PM and hope to hear from you soon. :D
I look forward to sharing and comparing information about our Murphy families.
What a great photo! Thanks for posting it.
With a smile ;D

Great news Elsie and Almareta you have found a connection...its so difficult to find Murphy's in Ireland
maybe your Jeremiah and my Richard b. abt 1790 could be brothers or cousins
I would be very interested in any info if you find any ::)
Good luck
Rose

Thanks Rose. :) Appreciate your kind words.
It would be great if we can find a connection to your Richard. Anything is possible ... just takes a lot of time and patience in research....and heaps of luck!!!!
Here's hoping....

Hello Rose :)
It would be good if we could find a connection, but it could be very difficult. I have had no success in finding any of my Irish connections because they all seem to be too early.
Here's hoping :)
